Nelson – Tiny device that helps push a switch on everyday objects

Category Arduino Members openFrameworks People , Posted on:

Created by Maxime Castelli at ECAL (Bachelor Media & Interaction Design), Nelson is a tiny connected module designed to bring life (remotely) to everyday objects. It's based on a very simple foreward and backward movement as we do in the everyday life, like pushing a switch.

By being always connected to the internet, the device allows user to trigger any setup that requires a simple button push/press/move. The project was designed and built with the help of the designer Arthur Didier, and is the completion of Maxime's studies at ECAL. It is based on Arduino (Sparkfun Pro Micro 5V) and connected to the internet thanks to a Wi-Fi module ESP-8266 (model ESP-12). These control a Servo motor to make the movement. The application was made with openFrameworks.

This City – Audio-visual performance of a simulated world

Created and performed by Mark Wheeler (aka Mark Eats), This City is an audio-visual performance that explores what happens when a soundtrack controls the world as much as the world influences its soundtrack. The project is a combination of a soundtrack and real­time generative visuals, both played live.
